I’m proud of myself I started stuttering as a young kid, I have no idea what caused it, and as a immigrant kid learning two languages it made life hell for me. I used to not be able to talk to anyone for long before my stutter got in the way, but now I’m able to talk fluently in most conversations. Stuff can be tough out there, and I want to let anyone here know that if they need someone to talk to that my dms are open
